Once Nathan finished teasing his wife, he made his way out of Cross Group's headquarter.
Colin, the Elite Eight, Thunderstorm, and Waves, had gotten their rides ready. They had been waiting for Nathan in front of Cross Group's headquarter.
Once Nathan walked out of the building, he got into the black SUV that was parked in front of the fleet of cars.
The fleet of cars departed and made their way over to their designated destination.
On the way, Colin reported, "Sir, I have located Odysseus' current whereabouts. He has infiltrated Channing with four of his most trusted aides, and a bunch of pirates. They're currently staying at Blackwood resort."
Nathan recalled the glorious past and murmured to himself, "Back then, as long as the ships of our nation hoisted our nation's flag, they would make it through even the most perilous region unscathed because no pirates dared to offend the ships of our nation! How dare Odysseus and those from Demon's Lair pick on us! They should have stayed away from Cross Group's freight! I can't believe they have the guts to show up at our doorstep and demand a toll. I'm pretty sure they have a death wish! Let's head over and grant Odysseus his wish immediately!"
"Yes, sir!" Colin replied and ordered the drivers to head over to Blackwood resort immediately.
In the meantime, Odysseus had reserved the whole luxurious resort by the beach to himself for a week.
Hence, the entire resort had been occupied by the pirates Odysseus had brought along with him.
At the moment, Odysseus was having a great time with his subordinates; Mouette, Croc, Orque, and Puolpe. They were surrounded by gorgeous ladies as they helped themselves to all sorts of drinks.
Odysseus asked Orque, "You have sent your subordinate to get in touch with those from Cross Group, right? What's their response?”
"Boss, their faces turned pale the moment they realize who they're dealing with. I'm sure they will transfer the money to you by tomorrow. I can't believe it! It's ten billion that we're talking about!" Orque was delighted.
In return, Odysseus scoffed, "Ten million ain't much forthose from Cross Group! Since Cyclops and Squale is dead, we can't possibly let those from Cross Group off the hook unscathed, right?"
"Boss, what about Nathan? When are we going to take him out?" Orque asked.
"As soon as we get our hands on the money, we'll take Nathan out! Once we have achieved our goals, we'll get in touch with Typhon and leave immediately," Odysseus sneered and instructed.
"Hahaha! This is such a great deal! I can't believe we'll get to kill two birds with one stone! After all, we get to finish Mr. Westwood's request and generate a fortune for ourselves!" Orque and his comrades burst into laughter as they were overjoyed.
